owned it presafe act. thats the key right? If you had a non nys-comp pre safe act you have to register it or sell it out of state right? And no new sales in state of non comp AR’s are allowed, right?
Tell me this, how the fuck are they going to know if you owned it prior to last jan/feb? Say you bought a lower last year, or even 5 years ago, its not a firearm until its functional, right? What if you built it tomorrow? Or built it a year from now. Or built it 5 years ago. Not only how will they know, but were is the line drawn for owned pre safe act? Whats stopping anyone from continuing to buy stripped lowers anyway? Its not like you cant get a lower and bolt compliant shit to it, so why hault, stop, slow down or scare down the sales of lowers?
And again, if anyone asks if its registered, say yes. If they walk away, great. If they dont and they get a court order to query you against the reg database, you have 30 days to register it or sell it out of state, or turn it over to dismiss the charge.
So again, the ammount of grey area surrounding this bullshit is staggering, even a year later we still cant seem to understand what the fuck is going on with it all.
I guess the only thing saying you owned it prior to the safe act would be the nics check (if they can look that up) or a receipt. Innocent until proven guilty, right? but I doubt that would apply here. if it was a private sale you could write a receipt for dec, 2012 and I don’t see how they could know any different, but i’m no lawyer.
